A Cultural Shift: Implementing Reusable Anesthesia Circuits in <scp>US</scp> Pediatric Anesthesia to Address Supply Chain and Environmental Challenges

We did not complete a full cost analysis or perform microbiologic studies as this has been previously reported. Monitoring for water vapor buildup within the reusable anesthesia breathing circuit and vigilance in performing a leak test prior to patient use remain key patient safety components. Our experience demonstrates the feasibility of reusable anesthesia circuit use with appropriate protocols.
